Biography
Nouri Abusahmain was born to a Libyan Berber family in Zuwarah, Libya. He became a politician in post-Libyan Civil War Libya with help from the Muslim Brotherhood, although he stood as an independent candidate. The General National Congress elected him as president on 25 June 2013 as a compromise to the Islamist militants in the country, as he had Islamist views that were believed in by rebels - however, he was also not a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. In October 2013 he began a coup in Libya while leading the Libya Revolutionaries Operations Room (LROR), a corrupt army sent to keep order in Tripoli. He kidnapped Prime Minister Ali Zeidan after allegations that he suppressed debates and inquiries over the illegal transfer of money to the LROR. On 4 August 2014 the Council of Deputies was established to undermine his power and Abu Bakr Baira became its leader, taking over the government of Libya and leaving Abusahmain as a rebel.
